WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Monday

00:19.080 --> 00:19.840
but

00:19.840 --> 00:24.040
happened

00:24.040 --> 00:25.680
tonight well tomorrow

00:25.680 --> 00:27.520
lot unique

00:27.520 --> 00:29.720
starring william redfield

00:29.720 --> 00:36.720
with edgar staley

00:39.560 --> 00:43.360
we roll out the carpet now to welcome you again to tales of tomorrow

00:43.360 --> 00:46.360
brought to you this week by c h maslin and sons

00:46.360 --> 00:49.260
makers of maslin beauty blend broadlands

00:49.260 --> 00:50.680
i don't have to tell you

00:50.680 --> 00:54.360
that the maslin mills have been justly famous for the weaving of fine rugs and

00:54.360 --> 00:55.440
carpets for

00:55.440 --> 00:57.880
for generations of the maslin family

00:57.880 --> 00:59.360
in recent years

00:59.360 --> 01:03.140
they've achieved an enviable reputation and another and quite different feel the

01:03.140 --> 01:04.400
making of fine

01:04.400 --> 01:06.420
hunting and fishing clothes

01:06.420 --> 01:09.040
now this is an area of manufacture where

01:09.040 --> 01:11.780
business and pleasure truly overlap

01:11.780 --> 01:16.500
for the maslin mills are perhaps the only great weaving mills

01:16.500 --> 01:17.720
every year

01:17.720 --> 01:20.800
on the opening day of the hunting and fishing season the entire plant is

01:20.800 --> 01:23.680
closed so that everyone who works in the maslin mills can

01:23.680 --> 01:25.060
take it to the woods

01:25.060 --> 01:27.500
now this corporate love of sports

01:27.500 --> 01:31.560
makes the manufacture of hunting and fishing clothes at maslin more than just

01:31.560 --> 01:33.940
a business enterprise

01:33.940 --> 01:37.220
think of maslin next time you think of hunting and fishing

01:37.220 --> 01:41.020
as well as when you carpet your home

01:41.020 --> 01:45.060
c h maslin and sons are proud to present tonight's tale of tomorrow

01:45.060 --> 01:46.980
the first act of

01:46.980 --> 01:53.980
you need

02:17.700 --> 02:24.700

02:24.700 --> 02:25.700
A.

02:45.500 --> 02:50.580

02:50.580 --> 02:55.460
Pardon your sign says I have what you need well.

02:56.380 --> 03:00.660
I'm sorry Mr Carmichael Tom Carmichael I'm a freelance writer I've been watching

03:00.660 --> 03:04.020
your store for a couple of days now. I think there's

03:04.020 --> 03:06.700
a story here where you're welcome to look around if you like.

03:09.380 --> 03:12.700
A beat up looking joint your customers seem to be pretty well healed.

03:12.700 --> 03:18.300
I know. I know it's

03:18.300 --> 03:24.780
a bit early to tell you really well I couldn't wait. Have you the time to get what

03:24.780 --> 03:29.620
I mean if you're like just a moment I'll get it you know I'd like to get one of

03:29.620 --> 03:35.100
those too. What are you talking about well the gimmick the gizmo what we all need.

03:35.100 --> 03:41.260
It. Oh I couldn't do this much to take it take it.

03:50.220 --> 03:51.180
I can't seem to wait.

03:51.180 --> 03:56.340
I.

04:01.540 --> 04:02.660
Five thousand dollars for

04:02.660 --> 04:06.580
a gun and I've taken everything but you mind telling me what business you're in

04:06.940 --> 04:12.140
yes I would I could check you through the better business bureau and you wish the

04:12.140 --> 04:17.060
past two days I have seen people walk out of here with let me see an egg a pair of

04:17.060 --> 04:24.140
rubber gloves a test to and now gone. Out of a weird assortment wouldn't you say I

04:24.140 --> 04:28.620
would indeed and now if you'll excuse me price always five thousand it varies.

04:29.660 --> 04:34.060
I'm beginning to get the point you're not interested in talking to me very clever

04:34.060 --> 04:39.180
of you I could go to the police the gun is there a permit for it and what makes it

04:39.180 --> 04:42.300
worth five thousand dollars do you think the police could be interested in your

04:42.300 --> 04:47.500
business that sounds like a threat no that's my duty as a citizen your business

04:47.500 --> 04:54.420
might be blackmailed so it might. Better tell the police you have my blessing

04:54.940 --> 04:58.020
not to try to put up some teeth that would be nice perhaps the young man would

04:58.020 --> 04:59.740
like to come Oh no no he has

04:59.740 --> 05:04.700
an appointment with the police not know it can wait now I just love a cup of tea

05:05.660 --> 05:10.540
I would want to keep you oh you win hands down I had no intention of going to the

05:10.540 --> 05:15.100
police and I think you knew it would make a difference either way frankly all I'm

05:15.100 --> 05:20.820
interested in is the story. Or let's put it another way I see a sign which says I

05:20.820 --> 05:22.260
have what you need I'm

05:22.260 --> 05:26.340
a poor struggling writer but am I less in need than the wealthy looking people that

05:26.340 --> 05:28.860
you serve Peter I think the young man has

05:28.860 --> 05:31.820
a point you come to me then as

05:31.820 --> 05:34.540
a customer Oh yes as

05:34.540 --> 05:40.860
a customer you excuse me a moment I'll put up.

06:04.540 --> 06:05.540

06:24.020 --> 06:28.020

06:30.260 --> 06:35.140
a deal today was to come back on you can whistle for the five thousand I had no

06:35.140 --> 06:39.500
intention of charging you that the I know you couldn't afford it and what do I owe

06:39.500 --> 06:45.820
you. Pay me after you're satisfied when will I know soon enough. There's one thing

06:45.820 --> 06:48.260
I must tell you very frankly I'm not very happy with you as

06:48.260 --> 06:52.700
a customer I must ask you to promise that you'll never come near my shop again no

06:52.700 --> 07:01.420
mention to anyone. In exchange for what. In exchange for what I've given you. Might

07:01.420 --> 07:02.700
this be in the nature of

07:02.700 --> 07:10.180
a bride day Mr Carmichael the young man will not be staying. Probably be back no

07:10.180 --> 07:14.460
Mr Carmichael I've done your service let's leave it at that depends on the worth of

07:14.460 --> 07:25.380
your service it will be worth much to you keep it on your place.

07:25.380 --> 07:46.260
And.

07:46.260 --> 07:52.020
It's. Right for

07:52.020 --> 07:55.500
a time from Michael the wizard journalist he with

07:55.500 --> 08:01.140
a nose when you I think the old who's right you're probably in the wrong racket

08:01.660 --> 08:04.740
right. You were probably born to be

08:04.740 --> 08:10.500
a dressmaker OK OK cut it out you cut it out you gave you the

08:10.500 --> 08:16.020
fear I'm not through with the old buzzard yet I'll get something out of this. Maybe

08:16.020 --> 08:22.140
not appear. I said stop it don't push me around I don't go for.

08:24.060 --> 08:24.540
The job in

08:24.540 --> 08:28.060
a mobile not you may as well take me home I got to figure it there's an angle

08:28.060 --> 08:34.740
somewhere it's always an angle and you're always thinking. Getting a little tired

08:35.180 --> 08:36.620
waiting around to come up with

08:36.620 --> 08:41.460
a right answer I tell you I saw it a check for five thousand dollars six backer

08:41.460 --> 08:46.140
types walk in and walk out with packages what if they all pay five thousand that's

08:46.140 --> 08:52.660
when you're telling from numbers. But we always wind up eating in the. Very

08:52.660 --> 08:53.980
least I get out of this is

08:53.980 --> 09:02.460
a story that I promise you won't even get that you want to bet on drink up. Make

09:02.460 --> 09:07.180
up night on Fred's magazine and maybe I can imagine him and to give them a little

09:07.180 --> 09:14.380
advance on this yard. You want to. What's in sunny boy just watch an operator

09:14.380 --> 09:18.820

09:18.820 --> 09:29.100

It. It.

09:43.540 --> 09:50.620
I must. Keep those two. Oh wait

09:50.620 --> 10:00.620
a minute. You better give them to me. I.

10:12.860 --> 10:14.060
Think I can turn those off

10:14.060 --> 10:21.460
a minute so we can talk. I can sell it to Coleman. I like to give you

10:21.460 --> 10:25.740
first crack at my stuff you like to come in here when I'm up to my ears and work

10:26.100 --> 10:27.460
and try to talk me into giving you

10:27.460 --> 10:30.020
a go ahead on something I'll be sorry for in the morning.

10:36.980 --> 10:40.620
You call yourself an editor. That nasty that always help.

10:40.620 --> 10:44.980
I get that natural it's a strike right down your alley and old guy trying to please

10:44.980 --> 10:48.620
millionaires out of dough all right so we expose him a good yard in

10:48.620 --> 10:53.220
a public service you're always yapping about your magazine doing a public service.

10:55.020 --> 10:59.300
Then you get interested in public service my friend that will be the day.

11:02.220 --> 11:08.820
That's easy. Give me one just one objection just one the last year on your soul

11:08.820 --> 11:15.740

11:15.740 --> 11:18.660
a couple of bucks and you sit at home we get the whole story about your own.

11:20.820 --> 11:25.860
Picture of the place I don't deny that the place exists but I want to know what

11:25.860 --> 11:32.340
game the old man is playing. You told me go out and prove it. To me I'm black and

11:32.340 --> 11:33.740

11:41.640 --> 11:46.100
Item for. That so hot.

11:46.100 --> 11:49.600
You're right or enough to go out and smell it out right through to the end.

11:49.600 --> 11:52.100
Read something in here on paper, and I'll listen.

11:52.100 --> 11:56.100
Okay, you know what? First crack at it. When I do get the facts, you can whip on it.

11:56.100 --> 11:59.100
Hey! Hey, Fred! Fred!

11:59.100 --> 12:00.100
Sonic, a car!

12:00.100 --> 12:02.100
Shut it off! Shut it off!

12:02.100 --> 12:04.100
There's a knife on the table there.

12:04.100 --> 12:05.100
There's no knife in here.

12:05.100 --> 12:06.100
There's one in my pocket.

12:06.100 --> 12:17.100
Fred!

12:17.100 --> 12:18.100
Hold on for a minute!

12:18.100 --> 12:26.100
What's wrong, honey? Are you all right?

12:26.100 --> 12:28.100
Well, that was close.

12:28.100 --> 12:29.100
You can do tell.

12:29.100 --> 12:31.100
It wasn't my fault you got your scarf caught in the machine there.

12:31.100 --> 12:33.100
All right, all right. Take it easy.

12:33.100 --> 12:35.100
I ain't liable to sue.

12:35.100 --> 12:38.100
I owe you my life for these shears.

12:38.100 --> 12:40.100
It's a lucky thing.

12:40.100 --> 12:44.100
It's a darn lucky thing.

12:44.100 --> 12:47.100
You owe your life to these shears.

12:47.100 --> 12:51.100
Yeah.

12:51.100 --> 12:52.100
About that story, Tom.

12:52.100 --> 12:54.100
Oh.

12:54.100 --> 12:55.100
You'll listen now, huh?

12:55.100 --> 12:57.100
Yeah, look, I think we can all use a drink.

12:57.100 --> 12:58.100
I got a bottle right here in the drawer.

12:58.100 --> 13:00.100
Go get it, and then you can talk your head off.

13:00.100 --> 13:01.100
Okay?

13:01.100 --> 13:04.100
Let's go, honey.

13:04.100 --> 13:06.100
A bottle is what you need.

13:06.100 --> 13:09.100
Carry it on your person.

13:09.100 --> 13:10.100
Tom?

13:10.100 --> 13:12.100
Get your coat, baby.

13:12.100 --> 13:14.100
We're getting out of here.

13:14.100 --> 13:16.100
Tom! Tom, what about that story?

13:16.100 --> 13:17.100
Forget it!

13:17.100 --> 13:20.100
It's mine now.

13:20.100 --> 13:29.100
It's all mine.

13:29.100 --> 13:32.100
We'll return to the second act of what you need in just a minute.

13:32.100 --> 13:33.100
Meanwhile...

13:33.100 --> 13:35.100
Oh, are you a fishing fan?

13:35.100 --> 13:38.100
If you're not, you will be after I show you this outfit.

13:38.100 --> 13:40.100
This is the Maslin Klamath Coat,

13:40.100 --> 13:45.100
and it's made of specially woven Zeeland-treated poplin.

13:45.100 --> 13:47.100
See these pockets?

13:47.100 --> 13:50.100
Well, they're one of the things that make this the most wonderful coat

13:50.100 --> 13:53.100
for any kind of fishing that you ever want to do at any time.

13:53.100 --> 13:55.100
See, they're bellows pockets, and there's enough room in them

13:55.100 --> 13:58.100
to hold all your lure boxes, all your other gear.

13:58.100 --> 14:01.100
Yes, even all that gear that you carry.

14:01.100 --> 14:03.100
Over here, we have some more pockets.

14:03.100 --> 14:05.100
This one for cigarettes.

14:05.100 --> 14:08.100
This one for sunglasses or glasses, depending on which kind you need.

14:08.100 --> 14:10.100
Here's a ring to hold your snippers.

14:10.100 --> 14:13.100
All you fishermen know what those are for, and here's a wonderful idea.

14:13.100 --> 14:16.100
These loops can put your rod in if you want to free your hands.

14:16.100 --> 14:19.100
The butt down here, the rest of it here, so that you can change flies,

14:19.100 --> 14:22.100
light a cigarette, do anything you want to with your hands free.

14:22.100 --> 14:24.100
Now, that's just the front.

14:24.100 --> 14:27.100
In the back, we have a ring back here, of course, for your landing net.

14:27.100 --> 14:29.100
Notice that this loop is 6 inches long

14:29.100 --> 14:33.100
and you can reach it more easily either from the right or the left-hand side.

14:33.100 --> 14:36.100
Then we have here a great big mammoth pocket

14:36.100 --> 14:38.100
that goes all the way across the back.

14:38.100 --> 14:43.100
Zips open so you can store your lunch, rain jacket, or anything like that in there.

14:43.100 --> 14:46.100
Now get this, all this coat, all those features,

14:46.100 --> 14:49.100
and it costs only $18.50.

14:49.100 --> 14:53.100
Now, when it gets a little warm, well, Maslin has the answer to that, too.

14:53.100 --> 14:56.100
And that is the famous Maslin Tackle Pack fishing vest

14:56.100 --> 15:00.100
designed by Lee Wolf, who was one of America's foremost fishermen.

15:00.100 --> 15:05.100
Here you'll notice that everything is carried high and dry to make for easier weighting.

15:05.100 --> 15:09.100
As you can see, you have all the features that you have in a Klamath coat.

15:09.100 --> 15:12.100
At $15.75, it's no wonder that the Tackle Pack

15:12.100 --> 15:16.100
is just about the most popular single fishing garment in the country.

15:16.100 --> 15:19.100
See these two wonderful Maslin garments now at the store

15:19.100 --> 15:23.100
where you see this new display with a Tackle Pack over here,

15:23.100 --> 15:26.100
and on this side, the winter weather hunting coat,

15:26.100 --> 15:30.100
just to remind you that Maslin also makes fine clothes for hunting.

15:30.100 --> 15:33.100
Now, if you want the name of your local Maslin dealer,

15:33.100 --> 15:36.100
what you have to do is write your name and address on a postcard

15:36.100 --> 15:41.100
and mail it to Maslin Sportswear, Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

15:41.100 --> 15:44.100
Maslin Sportswear, Carlisle, Pennsylvania,

15:44.100 --> 15:48.100
and we'll notify you where you can see all these fine Maslin clothes.

15:48.100 --> 15:51.100
And now back to Act 2 of What You Need,

15:51.100 --> 15:54.100
William Redfield and Edgar Staley.

15:54.100 --> 16:12.100
[♪ music playing ♪♪ and bell ringing ♪♪

16:12.100 --> 16:15.100
That young man again, I was hoping he wouldn't come back.

16:15.100 --> 16:17.100
Perhaps he wants to thank you.

16:17.100 --> 16:20.100
No, no, I'm afraid he wants much more than that.

16:20.100 --> 16:27.100
There's one way to find out, get confirmation from his own lips of what I already know.

16:27.100 --> 16:31.100
Oh, good evening. I'm afraid this is all I have.

16:31.100 --> 16:32.100
Then keep it.

16:32.100 --> 16:34.100
Oh, no, no, no, I want you to have it.

16:34.100 --> 16:36.100
Your service was hardly repayable.

16:36.100 --> 16:39.100
Cheers came in handy.

16:39.100 --> 16:41.100
You know what happened?

16:41.100 --> 16:42.100
Yes.

16:42.100 --> 16:43.100
How?

16:43.100 --> 16:45.100
I asked you not to come back.

16:45.100 --> 16:47.100
I had to come back. You saved my life.

16:47.100 --> 16:49.100
Then we'll say that I accept your thanks and let's be done with it.

16:49.100 --> 16:55.100
Those men, the ones who come here to get what they need, they're clients, they keep returning.

16:55.100 --> 16:57.100
What if they are?

16:57.100 --> 16:59.100
Well, if you're willing to help them when they're in trouble, why not me?

16:59.100 --> 17:00.100
Is it the money? I'll get the money.

17:00.100 --> 17:03.100
It's not the money. I help those who are worthy of help.

17:03.100 --> 17:06.100
Why is it so important that you should see into your future?

17:06.100 --> 17:09.100
All right. I'll be honest with you.

17:09.100 --> 17:11.100
That would be wise.

17:11.100 --> 17:15.100
A knowledge of the future would help me over hurdles, hurdles that have blocked me in the past.

17:15.100 --> 17:17.100
I want to get married, Mr. Talley.

17:17.100 --> 17:20.100
My girl thinks I'm a flop. She's not the kind who would marry a flop.

17:20.100 --> 17:22.100
If I can find out what's in store for me, for us...

17:22.100 --> 17:25.100
You labor under misapprehension. I cannot map out your future.

17:25.100 --> 17:28.100
Every man has several possible futures.

17:28.100 --> 17:32.100
The specific future that's to be yours must be your own free choice.

17:32.100 --> 17:34.100
I don't understand that.

17:34.100 --> 17:37.100
When you come in here, you're in the beam of my scanner.

17:37.100 --> 17:39.100
In my back room, I have a machine.

17:39.100 --> 17:43.100
By turning a calibrated dial, I can check on your possible futures.

17:43.100 --> 17:47.100
In one of these futures last night, I saw you killed by a printing press.

17:47.100 --> 17:50.100
And in my other futures, I saw...

17:50.100 --> 17:53.100
Well, let's say that I saw various possibilities,

17:53.100 --> 17:56.100
depending upon how you react to different crises that arise.

17:56.100 --> 17:58.100
Well, tell me what they are.

17:58.100 --> 17:59.100
I can't do that.

17:59.100 --> 18:01.100
Why do you do it for others?

18:01.100 --> 18:04.100
It must be my own free choice. I stumbled on this power quite by accident.

18:04.100 --> 18:06.100
I don't care about that.

18:06.100 --> 18:07.100
But I do.

18:07.100 --> 18:09.100
I was a scientist. I...

18:09.100 --> 18:13.100
I worked with electronics, and I... At night, I dabbled with astrology.

18:13.100 --> 18:17.100
The pure science and the abstract hobby led me to this.

18:17.100 --> 18:20.100
And I'm beginning to wonder if I can cope with it.

18:20.100 --> 18:22.100
Oh, now, come off it. I'm not a child.

18:22.100 --> 18:26.100
This thing, whatever it is, no matter how you came across it, it could be worth millions.

18:26.100 --> 18:29.100
I give every penny above my living expenses to charity.

18:29.100 --> 18:30.100
Tell it to Sweeney.

18:30.100 --> 18:32.100
Get out of here. I'm sorry I saved you.

18:32.100 --> 18:35.100
It's too late for that, old man, and much, much beside the point.

18:35.100 --> 18:37.100
Then come to your point, Mr. Carmichael.

18:37.100 --> 18:39.100
If you're not interested in money, that's your business.

18:39.100 --> 18:42.100
Well, frankly, money interests me. It always has.

18:42.100 --> 18:44.100
And in the end, money will kill you.

18:44.100 --> 18:47.100
Oh, no, not so long as you can turn the dial on that machine.

18:47.100 --> 18:48.100
And what if I refuse?

18:48.100 --> 18:51.100
If something tells me you know the answer to that as well as I do.

18:51.100 --> 18:55.100
You claim you're not interested in money, you're not interested in playing God,

18:55.100 --> 18:58.100
you're just doing it for mankind, you're saving the needy.

18:58.100 --> 19:01.100
Well, I won't gamble that you love this little game of yours,

19:01.100 --> 19:04.100
and we'll get rid of anything that stands in the way, and I'm in the way.

19:04.100 --> 19:05.100
Sure you are.

19:05.100 --> 19:09.100
Publicity will ruin you, and I'm just the guy to do it.

19:09.100 --> 19:13.100
I subscribe to your service. My price for silence is the future.

19:13.100 --> 19:16.100
I want to know what tomorrow will bring. I want what I need.

19:16.100 --> 19:17.100
I just want to wreck my machine.

19:17.100 --> 19:18.100
Go on ahead.

19:21.100 --> 19:22.100
Peter!

19:27.100 --> 19:29.100
He's done so much good.

19:29.100 --> 19:32.100
One of those men you saw, the one who gave me the check for $5,000,

19:32.100 --> 19:36.100
in two years he'll develop a serum to combat polio.

19:37.100 --> 19:41.100
Without the gun I gave him today, he'd have been killed by a thief who was ransacking his apartment.

19:41.100 --> 19:45.100
I'm not asking you to stop helping others, just help me.

19:45.100 --> 19:48.100
Peter, perhaps it's best to do as he says.

19:51.100 --> 19:53.100
Where can I reach you?

19:54.100 --> 19:55.100
With what I need?

19:56.100 --> 19:58.100
With what you need.

19:58.100 --> 20:03.100
I'm meeting my girl in a bar on the corner of Greenwich and 4th.

20:04.100 --> 20:06.100
I'll be there all evening.

20:06.100 --> 20:09.100
I'll send a messenger boy over with what you need.

20:12.100 --> 20:16.100
Sorry I had to, well, use persuasion.

20:16.100 --> 20:28.100
It's quite all right, I anticipated it.

20:30.100 --> 20:32.100
I was wrong about him, he's evil.

20:32.100 --> 20:33.100
I must check this at once.

20:33.100 --> 21:02.100
I must be certain, absolutely certain.

21:04.100 --> 21:17.100
Peter, what was that?

21:17.100 --> 21:37.100
What was that noise?

21:37.100 --> 21:38.100
Peter, what is it?

21:38.100 --> 21:40.100
You look as if you've seen a ghost.

21:40.100 --> 21:41.100
A ghost?

21:41.100 --> 22:10.100
Yes, I have seen a ghost.

22:11.100 --> 22:21.100
Take it easy, that's not ginger ale.

22:21.100 --> 22:24.100
I'm fine, I feel just great.

22:24.100 --> 22:26.100
You're higher than a kite.

22:26.100 --> 22:29.100
The world's a kite, I got it by the tail.

22:29.100 --> 22:32.100
Up in the clouds, it's a long way down.

22:32.100 --> 22:35.100
No, no, we're not coming down, baby, not this time.

22:35.100 --> 22:37.100
Dream, dream, dream.

22:37.100 --> 22:41.100
The old man is worth a million bucks, a walking mint.

22:41.100 --> 22:45.100
You know, just one little machine, but in the hands of the right guy, you could own the world.

22:45.100 --> 22:48.100
Yeah, but it's his machine and he's got other plans for it.

22:48.100 --> 22:51.100
No, I'm not interested in his plans, not in the slightest.

22:51.100 --> 22:56.100
I don't know, I always thought I was pretty tough, but this, I don't know.

22:56.100 --> 22:59.100
Now what goes through that beautiful blonde head of yours?

22:59.100 --> 23:02.100
The old man saved your life, maybe you ought to be grateful.

23:02.100 --> 23:07.100
I told him thanks, what else?

23:07.100 --> 23:10.100
You're going to steal that machine, is that it?

23:10.100 --> 23:15.100
I don't know, I haven't exactly figured out the mechanics of it yet, but I get the machine.

23:15.100 --> 23:20.100
I get it, or I break a leg trying.

23:20.100 --> 23:23.100
If you don't quit drinking, you're liable to break a leg, period.

23:23.100 --> 23:24.100
It's slippery outside.

23:24.100 --> 23:26.100
That's how we got to celebrate, don't we?

23:26.100 --> 23:31.100
We don't make a million every day, or at least we didn't.

23:31.100 --> 23:32.100
You Mr. Carmichael?

23:32.100 --> 23:37.100
Oh yeah, yeah, in the flesh.

23:37.100 --> 23:53.100
Here, don't spend it all in one place.

23:53.100 --> 23:54.100
Joke?

23:54.100 --> 24:00.100
No, I don't think the old goat has a sense of humor.

24:00.100 --> 24:03.100
Yeah, well just not the thing for a night like this.

24:03.100 --> 24:05.100
Yeah?

24:05.100 --> 24:12.100
But if it's what I need.

24:12.100 --> 24:16.100
Hey, what do you think you're doing?

24:16.100 --> 24:17.100
Are you crazy?

24:17.100 --> 24:20.100
Yeah, like a fox.

24:20.100 --> 24:23.100
You remember I almost threw away the shears?

24:23.100 --> 24:28.100
Well, little Tommy boy does not make the same mistake twice.

24:28.100 --> 24:30.100
All right, that's got it.

24:30.100 --> 24:31.100
Let's blow.

24:31.100 --> 24:34.100
If you'll blow flat on your face, it'll serve you right.

24:34.100 --> 24:40.100
Is that my sweet little baby talking?

24:40.100 --> 24:51.100
Take it easy, it's wet outside.

24:51.100 --> 25:01.100
I never had a chance.

25:01.100 --> 25:29.100
I swear he slipped right in front of me, like he was pushed.

25:29.100 --> 25:32.100
You know, Martha, please don't, I'd rather you didn't.

25:32.100 --> 25:33.100
I just thought perhaps the news...

25:33.100 --> 25:38.100
No, no, we'd be interrupted by the news and I'd have to hear the consequences of my action.

25:38.100 --> 25:40.100
Martha, I can't cope with...

25:40.100 --> 25:41.100
Darling, I don't understand.

25:41.100 --> 25:44.100
The boy, I killed him.

25:44.100 --> 25:47.100
I can't believe that.

25:47.100 --> 25:51.100
You couldn't do such a thing.

25:51.100 --> 25:53.100
And now for the local news.

25:53.100 --> 25:56.100
Just a half hour ago, the snowstorm claimed its first casualty.

25:56.100 --> 26:00.900
A man identified as Tom Carmichael was instantly killed when he slipped beneath the wheels of a truck.

26:01.700 --> 26:03.900
You... you could have saved him!

26:03.900 --> 26:06.100
Worse. I sent him to his death.

26:06.100 --> 26:08.100
He was evil, but...

26:08.500 --> 26:10.900
death is for God to decide. You had no right.

26:10.900 --> 26:13.500
And had I the right to step into the fate of all those others?

26:13.500 --> 26:15.100
To play God on Earth?

26:15.500 --> 26:17.500
No mortal man has that right.

26:17.500 --> 26:19.900
Oh, Peter, you've done so much good.

26:19.900 --> 26:21.100
And tonight...

26:22.300 --> 26:23.700
I killed a man.

26:23.700 --> 26:24.900
There must have been a cause.

26:24.900 --> 26:27.300
Yes, a cause. I saw it in a machine.

26:27.300 --> 26:30.100
A life for life. Tom Carmichael's for mine.

26:30.300 --> 26:32.700
In two weeks, he would have killed me

26:32.700 --> 26:35.100
and stolen the machine for his own evil gain.

26:35.100 --> 26:37.500
But even so, you had no right.

26:37.900 --> 26:40.300
I didn't ask for this terrible power.

26:40.700 --> 26:43.300
Oh, God, why was it granted me?

26:43.300 --> 26:50.900
It's not for man on Earth.

26:54.900 --> 26:57.900
Peter! Peter! Peter!

26:57.900 --> 26:59.900
Oh, Peter!

26:59.900 --> 27:13.900
Peter! Peter! Peter!

27:13.900 --> 27:21.900
THE END

28:13.900 --> 28:22.900
Beauty Blend for Blue

28:22.900 --> 28:25.700
The tales of tomorrow will be brought to you by Chrysler.

28:25.700 --> 28:28.500
The name that means quality in watch bands.

28:40.100 --> 28:42.700
Men, make your watch look better than new

28:42.700 --> 28:45.900
with Chrysler's handsome Monte Cristo expansion watch band

28:45.900 --> 28:47.900
with a richly enameled crest.

28:47.900 --> 28:51.300
And ladies, see how Chrysler's new flirtation watch band

28:51.300 --> 28:53.300
adds jeweled beauty to your watch.

28:53.300 --> 28:56.900
Remember, look for Jacques Chrysler at your jeweler.

28:56.900 --> 29:00.100
It's the name that means quality in watch bands.

29:06.900 --> 29:09.900
Be with us again next week when Tales of Tomorrow presents

29:09.900 --> 29:12.900
Age of Pharaoh, starring Phyllis Kirk.

29:17.500 --> 29:21.300
The preceding program, originally telecast by ABC New York,

29:21.300 --> 29:23.900
has come to you by special video recording.

29:23.900 --> 29:40.900
This is ABC, the American broadcasting company.
